The Tale of Lady Ok is Lim Ji Yeons latest work. In the film, she plays Goo Deok - a escaped female slave pretending to be Miss Ok Tae Young.
After 16 episodes, the film was highly appreciated for its plot, character building and acting. In particular, Goo Deok's strong, independent female lead image received a lot of affection from the audience.
Thanks to that, the viewership rating of The Legend of Lady Ok has continuously recorded new achievements, even though at the time of airing, it had to face many strong competitors. The film ended on the evening of January 26 with a rating of 13.575%.
Nearly a month since the show ended, Lim Ji Yeon still has the same feelings for the character Goo Deok. Sharing with Cosmopolitan magazine, the actress admitted that she had a hard time forgetting the character.
The filming process ended a long time ago before the film was broadcast, but when I watched it again, I felt like I was still in the studio.
I have given Goo Deok so much affection that those emotions still remain in me. But after a period of rest, I thought I should let Goo Deok rest.
According to the Korean star, she is grateful that the film and the role received support from viewers. This is the first time she has received so much attention for the character she has transformed into.
Every time I face difficult moments as an actor, I think I will review this film.
The Legend of Lady Ok is like a book full of Goo Deoks journeys, but at the same time, like a diary containing my sincere dedication to portraying her.
Regarding the audience's expectations for part 2 of the work, Lim Ji Yeon herself is also very hopeful.
I even asked the screenwriter: Why didnt we make the second part? I really want to do part 2". I think it would be great to introduce Goo Deok as a Joseon-era traveling lawyer.
However, because the film has just ended, it is unlikely that a production of a second part will be announced. However, the public expressed hope for Lim Ji Yeon's upcoming projects on screen.
At the age of 35, the actress has changed her thinking a lot. She once thought that she had to show different aspects of each project, but now, she just wants to become an actress that people want to continue to watch.
Consistently taking on new challenges and not following the pattern is not the only thing I aim for. Recently, I have felt attracted to brighter, more accessible roles. I believe that maintaining balance is the key to a long-term career.
In the near future, Lim Ji Yeon will appear in part 2 of the reality show Fresh off the Sea. In addition, she plays Wi Jung Sook - a talented political journalist who was demoted to the entertainment department in the romantic film "Petty Love". Lim Ji Yeon's co-star is Lee Jung Jae.
